Objectives

The aim of ACTing for Change is: To provide Theatre of the Oppressed tools and new artistic pedagogy skills to youth workers directly working with young people from minorities at risk of social exclusion, encouraging them to diversify methodologies and strategies in the search for minorities’ empowerment and in the boost of real social inclusion. Our objectives are: -Introduce Theatre of the Oppressed and its philosophy as an innovative methodology with broad potential from the artistic, pedagogical and social point of view, to youth workers directly working with young people at risk of social exclusion. -Provide youth workers with practical skills in designing, implementing and facilitating Theatre of the Oppressed methodologies adapted to their work with young people from minorities at risk of social exclusion aiming at their social inclusion and empowerment. -Apply the knowledge and skills acquired by participants by developing and facilitating workshops in their organisations during the Local Action Phase, having a direct impact on youth from minorities at risk of social exclusion. -Develop a detailed written resource with Theatre of the Oppressed Methodology, including the workshops created and tested by the participants, and share it with organisations and youth workers working for the empowerment and social inclusion of youth from minorities at risk of facing social exclusion, including youth from any other background. -Initiate an international network of youth organisations working on social inclusion and empowerment of youth from minorities with the focus on using Theatre of the Oppressed and other artistic methods in their work.
